Who helps me run this
I use a small number of trusted providers, under contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only on my instructions:
- Cloudflare: hosting, security, spam protection (Turnstile) and privacy-friendly visitor statistics.
- MailerLite: sending The Fastest Line Weekly.
- Resend: delivering form confirmations and notifications.
Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the USA and the EU. Where they do, the transfer is protected by UK adequacy regulations, the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long I keep it
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
- Enquiries that don't become work: up to two years after we last spoke.
- Clients: for six years after our contract ends, for tax and legal reasons.
Cookies and similar technology
This site doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Visitor statistics come from Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn't use cookies or track you across sites. Cloudflare Turnstile may use strictly necessary technology to tell people from bots when you send a form. The site remembers in your own browser if you close the newsletter bar, and keeps a form that failed to send so it can retry. Neither is shared with anyone.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, ask me to correct or delete it, object to how I use it, or withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@thefastestline.com and I'll respond within one month.
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, though I'd appreciate the chance to put it right first.
